Look at How Much Fun We’re Having!

As you no doubt know, we’ve got another Rumpus event coming up this Tuesday, July 7, in San Francisco: Sex, Music, Comedy night with Jill Sobule. We’ve got a bunch of great acts including sex worker/authors Michelle Tea, Kirk Read, Madison Young, and Zak Smith. Burlesque by Mariel a la Mode. Comedy by Kyle Kinane. Music by Sig and (of course) special guest musician Jill Sobule. The event is Co-sponsored by Kink.com and The Center for Sex and Culture. Tickets here.

Still not sold? Well checkout these photos from our last event (not posted till now for dramatic timing… not because I lost my camera for a little while… I swear). Don’t try and pretend you don’t want to be a part of this:
